Inside Green Bay’s cap crunch: Why the Packers are stuck in the NFL’s middle ground

How the Packers manage their salary cap over the next two years is going to say a lot about where they’re headed, not just on Sundays, but up in the front office, too. Jordan Love’s locked in at quarterback. They’ve got a bunch of veterans with contracts hitting key crossroads, plus a young core still playing on rookie deals. All of it puts the team’s financial plan right in the spotlight, shaping what 2025 and 2026 look like. The good news: Green Bay has enough cap space to stay competitive. The catch? Every big move needs to be timed just right, or they’re staring down a cap mess later.
